It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves.
Francois De La Rochefoucauld
The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook.
William James
The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence, the second listening, the third memory, the fourth practice, the fifth teaching others.
Solomon Ibn Gabriol
Years teach us more than books.
Berthold Auerbach
I have to say, the first one, sooooo true. I know myself, that I can give some very good advice but when I'm in the same position I can NOT take my own advice
Being wise is knowing what to overlook: yet another I have yet to master.
The last one I'll add to, I've learned more from sitting at the feet of older folk (geriatric patients at a hospital I volunteered at many yrs ago) than I have through any book.
